Conclusions:
The test substance butan-2-one O,O',O''-(methylsilylidyne)trioxime was determined to be not readily biodegradable under test conditions.
Executive summary:

The readily biodegradation test was performed by MITI according to OECD Guideline 301 C. 30 mg/L of activated sludge were exposed for 28 days to 100 mg/L of test item butan-2-one O,O',O''-(methylsilylidyne)trioxime. The biodegradation was analysed by indirect analysis, BOD (NO2) and BOD (NH3) obtaining a biodegradation of 20% and 26% respectively and by direct TOC analysis obtaining a biodegradation of 28%. The test substance was determined to be not readily biodegradable under test conditions.

The test substance was hydrolyzed to form 2-Butanone oxime (2-0546, persistence, Low-Bioconcentration), Monomethylsilanol, and polymer (Polysiloxane) of the Monomethylsilanol. Analysis of the test substance was difficult.

Key study: Read-across from experimental data on analogue butan-2-one O,O',O''-(methylsilanetriyl)oxime:

A readily biodegradation test was performed by MITI according to OECD Guideline 301 C on analogue substance butan-2-one O,O',O''-(methylsilylidyne)trioxime. 30 mg/L of activated sludge were exposed for 28 days to 100 mg/L. The biodegradation was analysed by indirect analysis, BOD (NO2) and BOD (NH3) obtaining a biodegradation of 20% and 26% respectively and by direct TOC analysis obtaining a biodegradation of 28%. Based on these results, the read-across was applied and the test item butan-2-one O,O',O''-(vinylsilylidyne)trioxime was determined to be not readily biodegradable under test conditions.

Supporting study: According the the calculation method EPI-Suite, EPA (USA) / BIOWIN v4.10, butan-2-one O,O',O''-(vinylsilanetriyl)oxime was predicted to not readily biodegradable.
